Yankees MILB 7/20: Everson Pereira Goes Boom!

News: Both Jake Bauers (Scranton) and Willie Calhoun (Somerset) started their rehab assignments, meaning the Yankees have three mediocre left fielders (along with Greg Allen) who are nearing their return.

Yankees MILB 7/14: Jared Serna: 2 HR, 7 RBI

News: What do I think about the Yankees draft? I don’t pretend to be something I am not. I don’t follow much college baseball and I sure as heck don’t pay attention to high school baseball – so how much can I really know? It seems like a bit of a typical draft – perhaps […]

Yankees MILB 7/6: Roderick Arias Homers Twice

News: RHP Zach Greene‘s rehab is over and is on his way to Scranton. Greene has some credibility in the baseball world, as the Mets chose him in last winter’s Rule 5 draft.

Yankees MILB 6/24: Andres Chaparro Hits a Slam

News: I have expressed some concern about OF Jasson Dominguez‘s struggles in Double-A. While some of the numbers aren’t good, remind yourself of this: Dominguez made his Double-A debut in 2022 at the age of 19. At 19, Ezequiel Duran was struggling down in Pulaski (at the time, a Yankees’ short-season affiliate) as he hit .201/.251/.311 (48 wRC+; […]

Yankees MILB 6/10: Fitts, Hampton Dominate

News: OF Brandon Lockridge is now a member of the Scranton Railriders. The 26-year-old (who can play any of the three outfield positions) hit .313/.395/.510 in 114 plate appearances for Somerset, stealing 17 bases in 19 attempts. Don’t be fooled by the fact he has played mostly RF this season. There are kids named Jasson Dominguez and Everson Pereira who […]

Yankees MILB 6/3: Chase Hampton Ks 10 (Again)

News: The Greg Allen injury opened up the possibility for the Yankees to promote Kole Calhoun before the deadline, but it didn’t happen. Calhoun is officially a free agent. Given that he opted out, there is likely a team out there that has already shown some level of interest in the veteran. The Yankees decided to bring Oswaldo Cabrera right back […]
